I cringe anytime I see those cheerleaders throwing those little basketballs into the crowd. It's just a matter of time until one of them is on the floor.
Interesting thing I saw once when my boys were playing. We were visitors, and home cheerleaders threw the balls out during a TO. Several times that night, play was stopped to retrieve a ball off the court. I saw the R go to the administrator, who went to the table and announced that the home team would be issued a technical foul if another basketball came on the floor. R put the ball in play, and a little basketball immediately came flying out of the student section. Needless to say, the home coach went nuts when the R issued a technical. The coach left the bench, grabbed a small trash can, and went up into the bleachers collecting mini-basketballs. The guy was on a mission. He was taking them away from pre-schoolers, students, & adults and throwing them in the trash! I still like to tell the story on that coach when I see him!

Foreign objects on the floor reminds me of a game I had last week. I'm trail and a player is dribbling towards me about 15' away. Something right in front of the dribbled ball catches my eye and it is a quarter rolling right at me. The quarter is rolling at the same speed this guy is dribbling and it looks like it will roll out of bounds on my side. No such luck. The coin starts to curve towards the key so I blow my whistle. Right after I blow my whistle (of course) this same dribbler kicks the money on purpose over under the coach's bench. Coach whose team had the ball rears up and asks me, "hey, what's the deal?" I say, "money" He looks at me like I was nuts, (couldn't resist the chance to have some fun) I then told him to look under his bench and that I had stopped play because a quarter was loose on the floor. Wonder which player lost it?!?!
